×The Union Bears have never played a football game at Tazewell High School’s stadium.

They’ll be paying visits to the home of the Bulldogs in back-to-back weeks, however.

Union meets Graham at the venue on Thursday, while facing Tazewell there on Sept. 19.

The first of those showdowns is one of the most highly anticipated contests on the VHSL docket this week as it is a game between teams that have won the last eight Region 2D titles. Graham holds an 8-6 edge in the all-time series and has won the previous three matchups.

Defending VHSL Class 2 state champion Graham suffered a 20-10 season-opening loss to the Bluefield Beavers of West Virginia on Aug. 29, and the G-Men got an unexpected week off this past Friday when the Galax Maroon Tide forfeited their scheduled game.
